Answer:

(a) $1.73

(b) 12.74

(c) 5.80

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales revenue = $670,000

Cost of goods sold = 390,000

Gross profit = 280,000

Expenses = 180,000  

Net income = $100,000

Interest expense = $25,000

Income tax expense = $20,000

(a) Earnings per share:

= (Net income - Preferred dividend) ÷ Weighted average common stock

= ($100,000 - $5,000) ÷ 55,000

= $95,000 ÷ 55,000

= $1.73

(b) Price-earnings:

= Stock price ÷ Earnings per share

= $22 ÷ $1.73

= 12.74

(c) Income before interest and taxes:

= Net income + Interest expense + Income taxes

= $100,000 + $25,000 + $20,000

= $145,000

Times interest earned:

=  Income before interest and taxes ÷ Interest expenses

= $145,000 ÷ $25,000

= 5.80
